Droppin' Science » Time Travel http://www.droppinsci.com The Freshest Science Podcast Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:06:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://www.droppinsci.com/feed/podcast/ Martin Archer and Greg Foot are scientists of the MTV generation. In their regular podcast, Droppin’ Science, they present the most interesting, weird, cool and quirky bits of the week’s science & tech, all bundled up with plenty of banter and some heavy production. The pod’s crammed full of regular features with Martin & Greg trying to humorously condense the most complicated scientific concepts into less than 5 seconds, heading out on the street to pose some quite frankly stupid science questions to the public, dissing the science & tech of the latest Hollywood blockbusters and trying to sneak some pseudobollocks past each other. Plus, the whole thing is backed by some banging tunes so your fellow commuters needn’t know you’re secretly a massive geek!

Comparing the Milky Way crack to Doctor Who's

But don’t worry it’s not a rip in fabric of space and time as in the show, it’s the core of a thick, sooty cloud which scientists suggest is like a star crèche. You can find out more on pod 10.
